I was supposed to be on vacation… but apparently I can’t stay in a beautiful hotel without taking design notes. 😂

A few of my favorite details from two hotels we stayed at (both Mr & Mrs Smith)….small choices that made the spaces feel layered, collected, and anything but cookie-cutter.

Saving these for the next house… and maybe you should too. 👀

Which detail would you steal?

What a privilege to spend three weeks exploring Europe with my favorite people — and all because of the business we built. ❤️

We used points for every hotel stay (thanks, Hyatt card!), and I can’t wait to show you some of the gorgeous hotels we stayed in.

But really, I’m most thankful for the freedom.

Being our own bosses means we can take extended trips like this. (It also means lots of nights and weekends working, but that’s a story for a different post 😂.)

It means looooots of family time and inside jokes. It means travel mishaps and figuring them out together. It means seeing the world through our kids’ eyes and collecting memories we’ll talk about for years.

And maybe most of all, it’s a reminder of why we worked so hard to build a business that could give us this kind of life.

The houses we renovate are the business. But this is the why. ❤️

Three weeks, six cities, approximately 87,000 steps, and a whole lot of memories I wouldn’t trade for anything.

Now… who’s ready for the Europe content dump? ✈️🇬🇧🇧🇪🇳🇱

Most people spend weeks choosing the perfect tile…

…and about 30 seconds choosing the grout.

But grout isn’t just functional—it completely changes the finished look.

The exact same tile can feel bold and graphic with contrasting grout or soft and seamless with coordinating grout. Neither is right or wrong—it all depends on the look you’re trying to create.

✨ Want the tile pattern to become a design feature? Choose contrasting grout.

✨ Want the tile itself to take center stage? Choose coordinating grout.

It’s a small decision that has a surprisingly big impact.

Now I’m curious—which team are you on?

Did I miss any?

After 10 years of rehabbing homes, these are the renovation upgrades we never skip. They’re the ones that add the biggest impact, improve everyday living, and are always worth the investment.

Does a good before & after ever get old?

I don’t think so. 🤍

We took it all the way down to the studs and rebuilt it into a space that’s brighter, more functional, and full of character. Every decision was made to make this 100-year-old home feel like itself again—just with a whole lot more beauty and practicality.

These transformations are why we love renovating old homes.
